I know it’s for the best
But it still hurts
Hearing mothers complain
For what I would give anything fo
My husband says no

A fresh faced country girl
Who pioneers on her bicycle
Catches the eye
Of a transplant from Houston
Love begins through letters

This world is covered in bias
It’s all over you
It’s all over me too
This world is covered in bias
It shades our words

My sister’s cookies
Chocolate chip
Got my nephew to
Say her name
For the first time

Would I rather be
A younger me?
More productive
Stronger
Would i have to give up

I do not enjoy roller coasters
I am not chicken
But they say
You just have to try it!
So I do

A palomino gallops
Beside the highway
Look out the window
Rides over green hills
Through yellow flowers

I am stronger
Than you think I am
I am weaker
Than I look

I wallow in my sadness
As it pools up
It has not swallowed me
Who floats above its surface
This surface

I can feel it coming
Decisions I can’t make
Brain starts to freeze
Fingers won’t work
Sick of this disease
